Any builder will tell you not to tear down a load-bearing wall. The rest of the house falls apart.

How “renowned” is this place? Has it been on HGTV? Does a 35 year old blonde female fitness instructor live there with her 75 year old paunchy husband? Women might marry once for love, but after that it’s for a house overlooking the ocean.

Well so much for the vaunted Roman architecture. Thing didn’t last long, did it?

The House of Loreius Tiburtinus . . .

1. Couldn't have been a very important person. Important Romans had three names, as in Gaius Julius Caesar.

2. Seems ole Loreius isn't taking care of his property.

3. With Loreius for a name, I'll bet he was in plenty of fights in the third grade with guys who made fun of him.

Maybe Vesuvius is warming up again. Man, I’d hate to have Pompeii covered up again before I get a chance to visit.
